BEIJING (AP) _ Apple Inc. postponed sales of its iPhone 4S in its mainland China stores Friday after angry customers and gangs of scalpers threw eggs at the company's flagship Beijing store.
The violence erupted after the store failed to open on schedule at 7 a.m. Hundreds of people waited overnight in freezing weather at the store in the Sanlitun district on Beijing's east side for a chance to buy the high-end smartphone.
